Twenty years ago, Sam & Max burst onto the indie comic book scene with a daring venture to the Philippines (drawn entirely without reference) called Monkeys Violating the Heavenly Temple. Today they're the stars of an Eisner-nominated webcomic and a successful episodic game series. Sam & Max creator Steve Purcell and Telltale are celebrating these milestones with the this new edition of the Sam & Max comic book collection, Surfin' the Highway. In addition to all of the content of the 1995 original, the new edition contains 25 pages of content developed over the last two decades, bringing the page count to 197 with 45 pages in full color. The new content includes advertisements for the original Freelance Police comic book, a color version of Fair Wind to Java and recent paintings promoting Telltale's Sam & Max games and the upcoming DVD release of the Sam & Max Freelance Police animated series.

Cognitive scientist and public intellectual Steven Pinker urges us to step back from the gory headlines and prophecies of doom, and instead, follow the data: In seventy-five jaw-dropping graphs, Pinker shows that life, health, prosperity, safety, peace, knowledge, and happiness are on the rise.

I love this book. It's filled with so much stuff. All of the Sam and Max comics to date, plus a whole bunch of extras and artwork. It's amazing. If you're a fan of Sam and Max, I highly recommend you get this.

I've never read a comic so hilarious. It was by chance that I stumbled upon this book on the internet, and for the heck of it decided to spend what ever money I had in the bank to get it. Thanks to Surfin' The Highway, I am now a huge fan of the world of Sam & Max! Most funny pages have to go through a page or two to get to the punch line, but Sam & Max has a gut busting, seizure inducing laugh on almost ever panel. All Sam & Max need is just one moment to deliver a smart-assed remark that'll leave you in stitches. Not only that, but this book also got me over my fear of cops! I swear there has to be some cosmic shift in between the real world and cartoon world, because Max has to be my long lost twin brother!

Im from Denmark. And i purchased this book in USA because it was too expensive in UK. I purchased it and waited in over a month. Was it worth it???????????HELL YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!this book has so much of everything Sam and Max has done in comics. it is hilarius.And small "PSA's" that are just as hilarius. And best of all: it is just political incorrect (not racist). What else can i say........... oh maybe BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT

Or, at least, something quite close to it. I won't go into too much detail. Heck, all the other reviews tell you about the art and yadda yadda. I'll just say that you HAVE to own it. What better thing to own than an anthropomorphic two piece suit loving canine, who doesn't wear underwear, and a rabbity thing with a need for violence? If you can seriously answer with anything but "nothing"...I don't think I want to associate with you.

i bought this on a whim as i was getting the DVD boxset of the cartoon for my nephew. the comic is great and funny, if you're into the weird type of humor that's offered. don't expect anything that makes sense.

I found myself laughing out loud and having to explain to my husband what was so funny! I just love the this book. The story telling and artwork are so well done I couldn't put it down. Very funny stuff!
